What Might Have Been...
DB Cargo's Grand Central-liveried Class 90, 90026 - on her last outing in full GC livery - prepares to taxi Class 92, 92042 to Wembley en route to Dollands Moor.
The 92 had been at Crewe ETD for over a year (since 6 September 2019) for various works including a new first-in-class fire system, new wheelsets and attention to a long-standing converter issue.
Unfortunately 042's return didn't go to plan and she suffered issues with the new fire system within a day of two being back in Kent and was promptly returned to Crewe four days later.
Whilst it appears 042 has had shoe-gear added during its stay, this is in fact due to "Honegger" having swapped bogies with 015 during its stay at the ETD.
